MEERUT: The Shahi mosque committee in Sambhal has raised concern over an alleged attempt to alter the status of a centuries-old well beneath the mosque's eastern wall. In a legal notice sent on Monday to the Uttar Pradesh government through the district magistrate, the committee highlighted its objections, stating that the well has been an integral part of the mosque premises for generations.

Reportedly, the committee took action after reports suggested that authorities were planning to reclaim the well, as mentioned in media statements.
